Transport

Based on analyses of the mobility needs of our students and staff, we set principles for sustainable transport. The buildings and campuses of the university are situated mainly in the Brno-centre area. This area has limited parking options and therefore we consider alternative transport options to private cars. In the Rector's Office, we have built a bike shed with charging stations for different types of electric bikes.
For the renewal of the car fleet, we are also considering cars with alternative drives.

IT infrastructure

We procure IT equipment and consumables in such a way that we take into account both energy savings and the lowest possible environmental burden in their operation.
We address not only energy consumption, but also the materials used (their recyclability, non-toxic composition), the possibility of extended warranties and the availability of spare parts after a certain period of time from the acquisition of the equipment. When refurbishing servers and disk arrays, we prefer those that are less energy intensive but at the same time more powerful. Thanks to this, we can reduce the number of servers and save not only the energy required for their operation, but also cooling.
We pay a recycling fee for each piece of electronics purchased and have the product environmentally disposed of at the end of its useful life.

Drinking water

In order to reduce the consumption of water supplied in plastic bottles, we use filtered tap water dispensers across the BUT. Interested parties can choose between sparkling and still versions, and for some facilities between chilled and hot. You can refill liquids in your own bottles or use eco-friendly cups.
